You have an entrepreneurial spirit, and a franchise sounds like a great opportunity, right? Franchising means accessing an already successful business model with support from the existing company. Franchising means getting specialized training, accessing custom-built software, and gaining insight into a growing industry.
However, franchising in healthcare can seem daunting if you aren’t already familiar with it. Fortunately, FeldCare Connects has a solution for those with an entrepreneurial spirit who want to break into healthcare.
By franchising with FeldCare Connects, you will break into the ever-expanding world of healthcare by utilizing our healthcare referral model to help home health agencies connect their patients with physical, speech, and occupational therapists.
Here are the facts:
- People are living longer, and therefore, they want to maintain their health and independence. Providing rehab during critical times can help patients achieve their goals and reduce their need for full-time care.
- Home health agencies often outsource patients to contract clinicians to round out their roster because they can’t hire and manage every discipline their patients need.
- Clinicians who work on contract need to understand many elements beyond their scope and specialty when working independently. It’s easier for them to work with a referral service that will handle the billing and help them connect with home health agencies who need their skills.
- Healthcare is and likely will remain a growing industry. FeldCare Connects has weathered changes in healthcare services for over a decade. Our proven model is profitable and provides a vital service needed by patients, home health agencies, and clinicians.
- Running a healthcare referral service does not require special knowledge or a degree in healthcare. It does require you to be a fast learner and have a passion for connecting people.
What Should a Potential Franchisee Know to Get Started?
As we’ve shared in the above paragraphs, you do not need experience in healthcare to own a healthcare referral franchise. This may have left you wondering: how can you get up to speed without that baseline knowledge?
Here at FeldCare Connects, we have you covered!
Franchisees are provided with resources, coaching, and ongoing support. Whenever changes in the insurance world happen or updates are made to Medicare, our policies are also updated and shared with you.
It’s important to know that clinicians are responsible for remaining knowledgeable about their scope of practice. FeldCare Connects and its franchises provide administrative oversight, but the clinician provides the medical care.
What you truly need as a FeldCare Connects franchise owner is:
- A passion for helping others. That is the absolute, number one most necessary characteristic.
- Great communication skills.
- A quick and comprehensive learning style.
- An ability to ask for help and delegate.
- A willingness to put the time and energy into making the company successful.
The knowledge you need to run a successful healthcare referral company can be taught, but the passion for helping others cannot.
Healthcare is a great market to break into. There is no better feeling than helping people live a better, healthier life. If this is something you’re interested in, fill out this form to determine if you’d be a good fit for a FeldCare Connect franchise owner.
We look forward to hearing from you!
